Oyster Soup @ Brigtsen's
Frank Brigtsen cooks a range of oyster soups in his delicious little restaurant. They range from the rich oyster Rockefeller soup to a simple oyster stew. They have in common a starting point: gallons of oyster water, fresh from the oyster house, reduced down to concentrate the flavors. The result is a briny, maritime intensity that I'm nuts about. Never, ever pass up any oyster soup here. Unless you don't like oysters.
